Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that exists in three major chemical forms: pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine. It performs a wide variety of functions in your body and is essential for your good health. For example, vitamin B6 is needed for more than 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism. It is also essential for red blood cell metabolism. The nervous and immune systems need vitamin B6 to function efficiently, and it is also needed for the conversion of tryptophan (an amino acid) to niacin (a vitamin).

Hemoglobin within red blood cells carries oxygen to tissues. Your body needs vitamin B6 to make hemoglobin. Vitamin B6 also helps increase the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin. A vitamin B6 deficiency can result in a form of anemia [1] that is similar to iron deficiency anemia.

Of all the Vitamins, Vitamin B6 is the most important for the development and maintainance of a healthy immune system, and consequently protects against cancer as well as infection. Many women use Vitamin B6 for the relief of PMS/PMT and menopausal symptoms, with some success and it plays a critical role in fertility. In addition, Vitamin B6 is intricately involved in the function of many enzymes and in protein metabolism and formation.
